Hillary Clinton Wants to Waste Your Money on Alzheimer's

     After being away for a while from blogging, I returned just this evening to read a blog about how Hillary Clinton intends to pump 2 billion dollars a year of your money into government research of Alzheimer's disease.

This politician just doesn't let up.  She knows that any money she takes away from the private sector comes out of your pocket.  And, private companies, such as Eli Lilly & Co. (LLY), are on the brink of marketing breakthrough drugs for Alzheimer's without any cost to you whatsoever.

I think that the key point to keep in mind in this issue is philosophical.  Ayn Rand's philosophy of Objectivism holds that: "The proper functions of a government fall into three broad categories, all of them involving the issues of physical force and the protection of men's rights: the police, to protect men from criminals--the armed services, to protect men from foreign invaders--the law courts, to settle disputes among men according to objective laws." (Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal, p.384)

It has been interpreted by prominent Objectivists that the three legitimate branches do include two others (the diplomatic and the treasury) to make them function.  However, it is clear that that is the final line where government legitimacy ends.

Since public Alzheimer's research does not fall under any category of legitimate government, Hillary Clinton's pledge to spend your money on that is a lie.  It will not happen.

Impeach Obama Anyway

     It has been said that Congress should not impeach Obama because it will never succeed.  Well, now we are seeing the consequence of a leader who hates this country, and wants to destroy America, dashing unchecked with no reservations about fundamentally annihilating us.  My answer to these Representatives is: "Who cares?"

I believe that Obama would easily be impeached if the House of Representatives began the process.  However, if not, that is beside the point.  The goal of this action is to slow him down in this final year.  At the very least, it would distract him; and realistically, considering the dozens and dozens of "high Crimes and Misdemeanors", not to mention "Treason", (to quote from the Constitution of the United States of America), the possibility does exist that his "power" would be diminished--if not extinguished.

Hillary Clinton Attacks Big Pharma

     Donald Trump's style was best referred to by one of his campaign managers as that of a counter puncher.  I recently saw a speech in which he said that all Hillary has going for her is "the woman card", "that's it!"  Well, I'd like to relate some of my thoughts to what Trump has hit upon.

Hillary Clinton is not a new face in politics.  She held the position of First Lady for eight, long, oppressive years.  But, now she seeks to become President and place Bill Clinton in the position of First Man.

If you look at Hillary's whole career, one universal theme stands out--a reach to hold onto and extend political power.  In the campaign of her husband, before his Presidency, all of the women who had had affairs in their marriage were treated by this "woman card" holder as a threat to the only thing Hillary was seeking--political power.  As President, Bill Clinton continued to dance the "Momba #5"--having multiple affairs--most of which were never proved.  But, did Hillary move in to defend her turf?  No.  Her political instinct was to hide it. Then, the Monica Lewinsky bombshell exploded; and the investigation dragged on--only to finally peter out with Bill Clinton as a somewhat diminished power figure.  Even when it was all over, did Hillary as a woman speak out?  No.

So, what does all this mean?  Is Hillary simply blind to the clandestine activities of her husband?  She is not.  She knows exactly what has gone on, continues to go on, and will keep going on if Bill becomes First Man.  Instead of naming Hillary's unique asset as "the woman card", it is more accurate to call it "the political animal card".

Work Saves Man in Schindler's List

     Schindler's List is one of my all-time favorite movies.  I like it because it is a movie about excruciating struggle and then deliverance.  Throughout the movie, the only thing maintaining most of the Jews is: the production that they created before the extreme oppression, then the work they were able to do (though they were paid almost nothing), and finally the momentum of the limited production fuel that they and Schindler had made that allowed them to last to the end of that oppressive government and survive.

Though life may seem hopeless to some, if one sets one's focus on private sector, or legitimate government work, there is always hope.

No New Immigrants

     I had planned to write a blog on immigration with the title: "A Graduated Deportation Force."  I was going to advocate dividing the illegal immigrants into three broad categories:

(1) Serious criminals

(2) Those committing petty crimes, welfare recipients, and part-time, low wage earners

(3) Long work week, low wage earners, and high wage earners

The concept I wanted to promote was to imprison or possibly deport those in the first group, send back all of those in the second group, and send back some of those in the third group.

However, in doing current events, blog prep, I realized that Obama has blasted the Southern border so wide open, and has active transportation hurling immigrants across the oceans, such as from Syria, that immigration is so completely out of control that the only prudent thing for America to do right now is to shut down all immigration--probably for several years.

As a final thought, what makes more sense: sending out manhunts to round up hundreds of thousands of elusive Syrian refugees in America, transport them back to the Middle East, and supply them with food and everything that life requires until we can get them there?  Or, keep the Syrians somewhere near their homeland, set up a refugee camp, and not worry about a 9/12 in America every month?

An Adventure in Price Fixing

     As an investor in Eli Lilly & Co. (LLY), imagine for a moment a case in which a bureaucrat of the Injustice Department decided to force the company to significantly price fix a drug by lowering its cost according to the Injustice Department's standards.  I know it is the dream of every bureaucrat who does this to eat a company's cake and have it too.  But imagine what would happen if this move of the Injustice Department became standard practice that no despotic authority was able to contain and control.

After an Injustice Department bureaucrat imposes himself on Eli Lilly & Co. (LLY) he leaves corporate headquarters in Indianapolis, Indiana, and gets into his car to drive home to Chicago, Illinois.  As he pulls out of the parking lot, the bureaucrat notes that he is hungry because the businessmen had kept him waiting so long before the meeting.  So, the bureaucrat finds a McDonald's to get a quick bite to eat.  As he walks inside, the bureaucrat sees several long lines with few employees in uniform.  After a very long time, a worker attends to him, only to announce that the store is out of the sandwich the bureaucrat wanted.  "What do you have?", the representative of the Injustice Department asks in an annoyed tone.  "Milkshakes and ice water?  What kind of business is this?"  After buying a milkshake, the bureaucrat continues on his way.

He gets on the highway out of Indianapolis that will take the bureaucrat back to Chicago; but he notices that he is low on gas.  Turning off at the next exit, he proceeds to the Speedway gas station only to see all the pumps out of service.  As a member of the Injustice Department, he storms inside to demand an explanation.  "Why is there no gas for sale?"  The owner attending the counter replies, "We were doing well, until a government edict reduced our prices so much that no supplier would come.  I don't blame them.  Who works for a loss, anyway?"  The Injustice Department bureaucrat peels out of the station, and hurries to the next exit.  The result is the same--no supply.  After questioning the manager of a Mobil gas station, he is informed that the gas shortage is state wide.

By now the sun has begun to set; and judging by the flimsy suit and dress shirt, no heat source will mean a very cold night if the Injustice Department bureaucrat does not find lodging.  So, he crosses the overpass to a hotel nearby.  Unfortunately, there is no vacancy.  He drives to the next exit--only to find a motel in the same state.  With the temperature rapidly falling, the Injustice Department bureaucrat is desperate; so he marches in and demands to talk to someone in charge.  "Why is there no lodging anywhere in sight?"  The hospitality manager replies, "It didn't used to be like this; but then those price fixing bureaucrats came along--ruining our profit.  It's not like I blame the businessmen.  Who works for negative pay?"  The Injustice Department bureaucrat opens his wallet.  "One room for one night.  Name your price."  The manager responds, "No.  The law is the law.  Don't blame me.  Its those damn bureaucrats from the Injustice Department."

That night, the bureaucrat catches pneumonia in his car.  Unfortunately, a cutting-edge, experimental drug from the labs of Eli Lilly & Co. (LLY) could have quickly cured this, but had been scuttled years ago due to government regulation.  The "Justice Department" bureaucrat dies.

Life's Definition

     As I continue my intellectual studies, currently I am reading a General Biology textbook's human anatomy and physiology section, as well as Leonard Peikoff's Objectivism: The Philosophy of Ayn Rand.  Tonight, while reading Peikoff's chapter on "Man", it reminded me that I constructed a "Life" definition years ago. I propose the following:

Life is cell respiration that nurtures self-maintenance in it's direction.

AbbVie (ABBV) Wins "Nobel Prize" in Medicine

     The biopharmaceutical company, AbbVie (ABBV) has won the Prix Galien 2015 award for best pharmaceutical agent.  Specifically, the award recognizes the blood cancer treatment, IMBRUVICA, which AbbVie (ABBV) recently acquired in a multi-billion dollar deal.

The Prix Galien is very prestigious, as it is considered the equivalent of the Nobel Prize in biopharmaceutical and medical technology research.  This is not the first time that AbbVie has won it.  Back in 1999, before the pharmaceutical branch of Abbott Labs (ABT) broke off to form AbbVie (ABBV) in 2013, the business won the Prix Galien for its drug Norvir.  Then, in 2007, the Prix Galien was awarded once again in honor of the blockbuster medicine, Humira.

Considering that AbbVie (ABBV) stock went up more than 10% yesterday, when it was a down day for all three leading indexes, the honor of a Prix Galien does not come without fortune as well.

The FDA Wants to be Attacked Again

     As a guardian of the two companies that my blog defends, I am on the lookout for any political aggressor that seeks to throttle AbbVie Inc. (ABBV) and/or Eli Lilly & Co. (LLY).  Yesterday, an attack came once again from the FDA, this time directed at AbbVie (ABBV).

Government regulators force medical companies to do extensive clinical tests before they will withdraw their ban on new medical products.  These tests are based on statistics which enshrine collectivism in their methodology.  But, the genes of individuals are not the same.  Therefore, individual responses to pharmaceutical drugs and other medicines often differ, as well.

For example, consider the field of mood disorder treatment.  What would happen if the FDA required that a pharmaceutical company clinically test a new mood drug among 2,000 patients?  Considering that there is a common disposition among many individuals to have levels of: mania, depression, or manic-depression at different times, as genetically driven manifestations, what would the test mean?  Nothing.

With the dawn of advanced biotechnology that enables medical scientists to identify the genes of an individual and their expression, the FDA really needs to get out of the way and stop preventing each individual American from having access to being able to purchase medical products and services that facilitate one's optimal health.

The Ultimate Reward of Investing

     Most investors aim to make money through the dividends and stock appreciation of the companies they invest in.  While it is true that the more money one makes the more products one can buy, my argument in this blog is that, sometimes, an economic investment makes possible a product that didn't even exist before on the market--enhancing one's life, as well as one's bank account.

For example, look at Eli Lilly & Co.'s (LLY) latest purchase of a potential treatment for severe hypoglycemia.  Intranasal glucagon, which is one step away from the market, would greatly enhance the medical experience of those who suffer from serious hypoglycemia.  As both an investor of Eli Lilly & Co. (LLY) and an individual who has to personally deal with a mild case of hypoglycemia, this prospective treatment will benefit me not only economically, but medically too, if my condition worsens with age--which I have read could well happen.

So, as you can see, Wall Street is more than a money game.  It is an industrial park in which one's economic demands aim to produce goods that fuel one's life according to the supply with which one infuses into the best companies.

Individual Rights in Indiana

     Indiana's laws concerning LGBT "rights" are being reconsidered again.  The two sides are portrayed as religious liberty vs. gay rights.  However, this is in complete error.  While one does have the freedom of religion, the only rights that exist are individual rights and what belongs to that which each individual possesses.

Considering freedom of trade, such as the infamous wedding cake refusal in Indiana, in question are the property rights of each individual.  I argue that the owner of a private business has complete control over one's property.  This includes the rights to hire and fire at will.  In my view, discrimination--though perhaps sad at times--is an absolute right.  A businessman can: discriminately refuse to hire, fire anyone for any reason, and (if one so chooses) fire anyone for no reason at all with complete legality.

While many business owners may choose to exclude dealing with gays, in Indiana, the leadership of Eli Lilly & Co. is LGBT friendly.  Lilly was in fact one of the major players in persuading the state to overturn the original RFRA that politically curtailed elements of the gay agenda.

On whichever side one finds oneself, on the issue, property rights apply to each individual no matter what the neighbors choose to do with their business.  If one is unhappy with the current situation, one does have the opportunity to try to open one's own business and conduct its trade, or lack thereof, with whomever one is willing to offer or deny services to.

Why I Dislike Insurance

     In response to several prominent health insurance entities refusing to offer Eli Lilly & Co.'s (LLY) new, superior diabetes drug, I thought I would take the time to share my views on insurance.

Insurance is usually not a good deal.  The odds are that an insured individual will pay more into the insurance than one will get out.  If I had my way, I would have no insurance.  I already have no health insurance and only purchase car insurance because I am required to by law.  My attitude about risk is that it will probably pay more to take the money one would send to an insurance company, save it, and use one's savings in the event of an emergency.  If no disaster happens, one will have a lot of cash on one's hands to spend on something else.

Another issue to consider is legal jargon.  There are so many pages with so much fine print for most insurance that if one does suffer a catastrophe, one really has no idea whether the insurance company will cover it or not.

Now analyze what happens when government injects itself into the private insurance market.  Not only do premiums go way up, we get the spectacle of what's happening with the exclusion of Eli Lilly's (LLY) better diabetes drug.

In America today, much insurance is employer provided.  The government pressures companies, in most cases, to do this.  However, what I think that few workers understand is that an insurance "plan" that is presented as a free extra is not free at all if it does have any substance.  By the laws of economics, insurance that has value would materialize as higher cash pay for oneself, if it was not offered.

And then there is ObamaCare.  The government is aiming at forcing everyone to have health insurance and forcing individuals to pay for it.  I don't know about you, but, having to pay money for something I'm never going to want is the least of my worries.  What I am outraged about is the specter of government health care force.  Health care is not usually as simple as swallowing a pill.  It can be anything from a painful injection to bloody butchery.

In closing, I am not advocating that semi-private health insurers funnel more money from those who do not freely choose to pay.  What I demand is that government get the hell out of all insurance, and leave Americans free to make and free to do in what is supposed to be the country of laissez-faire Capitalism!

Ban Bio-Tech Regulators' Use of New Drugs

     As pharmaceutical stocks plummeted, Monday, due largely to the disposition of bio-tech regulators, I think that those bureaucrats should be forced to personally face the implications of the philosophy they are promoting.

As things stand now, the pharmaceutical industry is running in a crippled state.  It is half-way destroyed--yet still trying to function in inventing, manufacturing, and selling new medicines.  So, here come these Democrat politicians and regulators trying to further destroy the businesses--which would eliminate drug innovation.

My argument is that anyone who pushes for control or destruction of pharmaceutical companies should be granted the end that one seeks--but against oneself, not us!  These purveyors of regulation should be banished by law from ever personally using any new medicine that manages to be invented from this day forth for the rest of one's life.  Furthermore, the regulators' family, children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, etc... must be banned from obtaining any of the new medicines, too.  The regulators seek to take away our future despite the fact that they will go down with us.  They are counting on our struggle to continue to innovate as a way to keep alive for one generation longer.  I say: "Let them perish without us."

Objectivists Bury Neoconservatism

     I chose to read Neoconservatism: An Obituary for an Idea by the Objectivists: C. Bradley Thompson and Yaron Brook to see if it would help me to reflect upon the Republican contenders campaigning to become the nominee for President.  The book is an in-depth commentary on the history and philosophic intricacies of neoconservatives--such as Pat Buchanan and John McCain which the book mentions by name.  I identify Jeb Bush as fitting much of the neoconservative persuasion.  The final chapter draws some enlightening conclusions about their nature:

"Politically, the neocons combine the worst vices of both liberalism and conservatism.  Whereas American conservatives want to regulate man's spiritual or moral concerns (e.g., abortion, pornography, drugs, education) and liberals want to regulate man's material concerns (e.g., property, production, trade), the neocons want to regulate both--but moderately so."(pgs. 241-242)

"The neocons are, we fear, laying the groundwork for a new kind of soft despotism that will surely pave the way one day for despotism of the hard variety."(pg. 242)

The book explains that author C. Bradley Thompson lived for many years in a neoconservative environment--until he finally broke ranks.  Personally, I wrote a lot of blogs that had the neoconservative philosophy significantly present back when I first began blogging about international events in 2005.  This book has really helped me reform my philosophy to respect American values such as private property even in a time that threatens to break out into war.  While it is true that a country must have a military for protection, and, I understand too well the truth of "peace through strength", to: build up American forces, project power, and maneuver all over the globe, but never actually achieve a decisive end, is not only pointless, strategically, it destroys trillions of dollars worth of individual Americans' private property.

How to lose Indiana

     With presidential primary season approaching, those politicians who seek a chance at obtaining the highest executive office in the United States of America may want to examine their strategy as far as it relates to what the residents in the various individual states want.  Having suffered so much economically, Americans value the prospect of higher pay, and for many the existence of any job at all, above a politician's personal socialist philosophy.

Take Indiana, for instance.  The politician who wins that state will gain 11 electoral votes.  So, what should one's strategy be?  Begin by examining the economic and philosophical landscape.

The biggest corporation based in Indiana is pharmaceutical giant, Eli Lilly & Co. (LLY)--with a current market cap of about 98 billion dollars.  As a politician, is the wisest strategy to stick it to Lilly and/or the entire Big Pharma industry?  Would an Eli Lilly employee who sees this done forget about the absent Xmas bonus, or lost job that the research success which Eli Lilly & Co. was having had promised?  Are the economically secondary workers who trade with those who work for Eli Lilly unaware that what's good for Eli Lilly & Co. (LLY) is good for oneself?  What about those who trade with them?  Etc...

Indiana has made national news, recently, for another issue.  The state passed a bill that limited LGBT liberties.  However, one fact that is less well known is that Eli Lilly rallied against the RFRA and was instrumental in overturning it.

In summary, my argument in this blog is that if a politician is going to win the votes of a state, one should turn one's attention to the biggest businesses that reside where one is campaigning.  And, if one wants to lose, destroy: the jobs, individual liberty, and finally the votes that could have been cast with one's name on them.

Crawl because Hillary requires it.

     Yesterday, Hillary attacked the pharmaceutical industry--a business sector of which I am a defender.  In the style of Donald Trump, who has taught Americans to fight back when attacked, I respond with a poem that I wrote about 8 years ago when it looked like Hillary was going to be the sponsor of ObamaCare:


Crawl because Hillary requires it.
-by Paul Wharton

Hillary's socialized medicine
is passed in America the free.
Clinton knows what power can begin-
the lines of people begging from she.

Hillary is a fortunate femme.
So few resist the taxes and laws.
Money gushes into the system,
and, blood out through forced needle lab draws.

But, the Hillary cost crunch does start.
Some citizens must be turned away.
A man pleads without a bleeding heart,
but dies, nevertheless, the next day.

Hillary faces a budget debt.
There is not much cash to go around.
Does she punish the source of a threat,
or, fund a coaxing, groveling sound?

To pick and choose has been her life's dream-
of those she likes to heal by permit.
The delight this fuels is a sharp scream.
Crawl because Hillary requires it!

Lilly Keeps Rising

     I bought the 100 shares of Eli Lilly & Co. (LLY) I own on 7/23/13.  Since that time, the value of my stock has gone up 76.99%.  In fact, yesterday alone, (LLY) appreciated 6.55%.  This is especially significant, as it was a down day for the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

You may point to other companies that are doing as well or better.  But, considering that Eli Lilly (LLY) is a Large Cap business with all of the low-risk stability which goes along with that, I'd say (LLY) stockholders are pretty smart.

Eli Lilly Takes on Parkinson's

     I wrote a really good article on 9/20/13 at my previous blog: Lilly Fuel.  Its title is The Greatest Gamble.

In that post I explain that investing in the pharmaceutical business can not only earn oneself profit, it can save one's own life!  My Grandmother died from Parkinson's disease.  Since there is some hereditary correlation, I have a significant chance of getting it at some point.

When I wrote The Greatest Gamble, I was already aware of Eli Lilly & Co.'s Parkinson's treatment that is a Florbenazine Imaging Agent (now in Phase II testing).  However, what has me really excited is the discovery of another anti-Parkinson's candidate that I just came across a few days ago (in Phase I testing).

I have no idea if Lilly's new molecule is actually protective against Parkinson's.  And, even so, to be legally sold it would have to make it past the FDA.  But, consider for a moment what it would mean if it is a cure.  While it would be true that the scientists and businessmen at Eli Lilly & Co. (LLY) would get half of the credit for the medical product, I, as an investor, intellectual, and advocate for Parkinson's research might be responsible for the other half.

One day, I may be able to boast that I'm living a few extra years longer due to my work.  And, maybe I'll also be able to claim the title of having done half the work in curing Parkinson's disease!  That would be a life achievement to put under my belt.

Current Projects

     As an intellectual sponsored by Eli Lilly & Co. (LLY), it is only just that I direct my work towards studying in ways and producing blogs that help the business which improves my mind with its medicine.  Therefore, I am undertaking two projects that are directed towards helping Lilly stock rise.

The first is reading a book that was sold by The Ayn Rand Institute eStore called Neoconservatism: An Obituary for an Idea.  This project is aimed at arming myself with a better understanding of certain immoral politicians in the Republican Party, such as Jeb Bush.

The second project is scientific in nature.  I plan to read a major part of a General Biology textbook.  It is the section on human and animal biology, the need of which involves an interesting story from my college years.

If I could have named the specific major I wanted in college it would have been Fisheries Ecology.  I had wanted to study that for many years in high school and in my youth.  While I had picked up some environmentalism in my formal and self-education, back then, before the discovery of Objectivism wiped it all out, that was not my goal.  I wanted to study natural freshwater systems.  I had no motivation to control the fisheries industry.

One day in college, I discovered a new computer game called, Railroad Tycoon.  It was an extremely addictive game.  I think I played it for 24 hours straight, and then went to bed--only to get back on my computer when I woke up.  I knew I should not be neglecting my studies--let alone be skipping class; but the game was just so good!

In my General Biology class, at this time, we were getting into human anatomy and physiology which didn't help.  I had no interest in going into anything medical after college--so I had about zero motivation to do the reading, or even to go to that class.  Well, after many transcontinental railroad crossings, I finally went to biology a week later to discover that all my friends thought I had dropped the class.  I not only missed taking notes; I didn't read a thing in the textbook.  It turned out that I failed the test on that section--giving me a grade in the "C" range in the base class closest to my major--which is really bad.

I was normally a very good student in high school and college--except for the college sophomore year when I put everything into the Crew Team.  But, that is a story for another blog.  The point of this one is that I am somewhat ignorant on human anatomy and physiology.  So, I am endeavoring to read about a 300 page textbook section in a General Biology book to try to gain the basic vocabulary and concepts.  This should help me to understand the language of medicine much better as I continue to read and blog for Eli Lilly & Co. (LLY).

Aristotle Volume One Completed

     After working on The Complete Works of Aristotle: Volume One, for several years, I am happy to announce that I've finished the 1,250 page book.  I have now read one half of everything Aristotle ever wrote.

Instead of critiquing the diverse topics that the volume contained, I would like to quote some Objectivist evaluations that are from the Aristotle section in The Ayn Rand Lexicon, a compilation of Objectivist quotes edited by Harry Binswanger.

"If there is a philosophical Atlas who carries the whole of Western civilization on his shoulders, it is Aristotle.  He has been opposed, misinterpreted, misrepresented, and--like an axiom--used by his enemies in the very act of denying him.  Whatever intellectual progress men have achieved rests on his achievements." (Ayn Rand)

"Aristotle's philosophy was the intellect's Declaration of Independence.  Aristotle, the father of logic, should be given the title of the world's first intellectual, in the purest and noblest sense of that word." (Ayn Rand)

"Throughout history the influence of Aristotle's philosophy (particularly of his epistemology) has led in the direction of individual freedom, of man's liberation from the power of the state...Aristotle (via John Locke) was the philosophical father of the Constitution of the United States and thus of capitalism..." (Ayn Rand)

Obama Double Dips on Destroying the Economy

     Obama has fought for it.  He has handpicked every official with the sole goal of causing it.  And now, America is on the precipice of having suffered, not one, but two depressions during his occupation of Washington D.C.

I'm sure that every one of his minions is going to start screaming that Bush caused the first depression.  But, if you go back and look at the chart, the economy started to tank in May of 2008--right around the time when it became apparent that Barack (The Kenyan) Obama was going to be the next resident of Pennsylvania Avenue.  I mean if you are a millionaire with hundreds of thousands of dollars invested in stocks, are you stupid enough to wait until January 2009 when Barack (The Kenyan) Obama is sworn in to withdraw your money?

What I want to know is what the consequences are, personally, for Obama.  It has got to be way worse than just prison time.  The economy of every country on Earth is going down the tubes...again!

Read About Trump's Political Views

     Two nights ago, I finished reading Time to Get Tough by Donald Trump.  I was referred to this book as the best one Trump had written which expressed his political beliefs.  While I didn't agree with everything he supports, overall, politically, he is my favorite of all the Republican candidates--except probably Ted Cruz.  However, since (like Obama) Cruz is not a natural born citizen so can't be President, I have decided to vote for Donald Trump in the Republican primary.

The subtitle of Time to Get Tough is Making America #1 Again.  This theme that Trump projects is so refreshing compared to America's most recent, preceding years that it really brings out an overwhelmingly positive, emotional as well as intellectual response in me.  Trump appeals to American Self-Esteem--something that has been missing in the culture for way too long.  However, to avoid the smear of "nationalism" that I've been seeing, I encourage Donald Trump to emphasize Individualism in the American Self-Esteem he is promoting.

Pharma Regulators Murder People

     Pharmaceutical industry regulations were created in the name of preventing ineffectual or harmful drugs from being marketed.  However, the inevitable result--by the nature of government getting in the way--has shifted the blame for any ill effects of pharmaceuticals onto regulators.  Since government regulators are now responsible, they react by operating to the extreme of over-caution.  This creates a situation where, instead of there being the rare dangerous substance for sale, many beneficial medicines and cures for deadly diseases are withheld from the market by government decree.

How many people have suffered and died because of the insistence of state interference by pharma regulators?  A bureaucrat has no power to produce anything medical--only to destroy.  Government Health Care aims to come between you and doctors, pharmacies, and drug companies--all so a bureaucrat can have a cozy office and issue decrees at public meetings.  Their words sentence your friends, relatives, and perhaps one day yourself to suffer and die.  By the logic of this blog, its title rings true:

Pharma regulators murder people.

Brainpower for Brainpower

     Eli Lilly & Co. (LLY) recognizes the immense financial burden placed upon them by government regulators who force the company to conduct enormously expensive, unnecessary tests before they will permit a new drug to be put on the market.  This creates a situation where patients must pay many times as much as they otherwise would have to if pharmaceutical companies were left alone to send new medicines along an economical course.  Government also coerces companies into granting some individuals a "free ride" which drives up costs even more.  This regulation by government is not only immoral, it damages the prospects for future medicines and cures.

In my own life, I worked for the money that I paid Eli Lilly for their psychiatric medicine, Zyprexa, at full price, for many years.  When I discovered a path to reduce the financial burden, I directed much of my free time towards blogging for Lilly as a thank you.  If you take time to look at my blogs, you may agree with me that Eli Lilly & Co. (LLY) has been paid many times over for their government pressured "philanthropy".

In this blog, my latest idea is to create a program of voluntary trade, at Eli Lilly, by applying my model of "ideas for medicine" towards Lilly's upcoming, blockbuster Alzheimer's drug, Solanezumab.  It could work like this.  Eli Lilly & Co. could create a program in which some at-risk individuals would use their minds to brainstorm for ideas and ways to help Eli Lilly.  Lilly could set up a panel to evaluate ideas as they come in and award the best ones months of earned Solanezumab.  Since the nature of Alzheimer's is that it is a progressive cognitive decline, by applying brainpower now, a talented mind would store up defensive countermeasures for a better future.  In this way, businessmen and intellectuals could team up to improve Eli Lilly & Co. (LLY) and create the products of talented thought at the same time.

The Fundamentals of Obama's Final Solution in America

     Government Health Care is poised to completely eradicate the remaining elements of Capitalist Medicine in America.  However, when an individual argues that one wants stuff at no charge from the medical market, I don't think that one really knows what one is asking for.  Much of medicine involves pain and/or terrible side effects.  By putting Government Health Care in charge of everything, rationing quickly ensues.  This is metaphysically inevitable because there is always an absolute limit to the amount of economic capital to which every state can get its hands on.  That, combined with the fundamental nature of Government Health Care, compulsion, integrates a very unpleasant state solution of:

(1)  Pain.
(2)  Nasty side effects.
(3)  Rationing.
(4)  Government compulsion.

Until...the final ingredient:

(5)  Death.

Please, support and fight for Capitalist Medicine in the name of One's Own Life.

Trump means better jobs and better pay.

     The mainstream media has jumped on Donald Trump for making a few extemporaneous comments about a lot of illegal Mexican immigrants who end up committing crimes.  However, what I want to focus on are the legal Mexican immigrants who are angry with Trump over those comments.

If waves of millions of illegal immigrants keep washing across our borders, crimes will be the least of the worries of the individual Latinos who have legal status and work at low-pay jobs.  Economically, when dozens of low-skilled laborers start competing with the jobs the legals do, wages are going to be pushed way down.  And, when one considers the trend of the Democrats--to establish higher and higher minimum wages--that will actually wipe out low-wage work completely if those laws are applied.

However, what does Donald Trump have to offer?  He is a businessman--and, a billionaire at that.  He has a philosophy that is pro-business.  President Trump will not only streamline America's immigration system; he will improve the economy better than any other Presidential contender.

To conceptualize what it will be like, contrast what Americans have become complacently used to over the last seven years.  It used to be that one applied at a lot of prospective employers and then chose the job one wanted from all of the offers.  Now the aspiration is simply the desperate goal: "to find a job".  It used to be that there were several employers in one's area who offered different levels of pay--according to economic factors.  Now, for many, jobs just start at "minimum wage"--or, "alternative minimum wage" in places that would devastate local economies and low-skilled workers.

So, what would Donald Trump do?  It's quite simple.  While it is true that for vast numbers, his policies would result in "jobs", what few are explaining is that President Donald Trump means "better jobs", and as the economy pulls out of the Democrat death plunge, "better pay".

Government Health Care = Death Panels

     Government Health Care is the opposite of Capitalist Medicine.  While Capitalist Medicine is a completely free, laissez-faire market in all of medicine, Government Health Care is total State control over what would otherwise be the medical market.

Some have accused the proponents of Government Health Care of trying to establish widespread death panels here in America--which has in turn been adamantly denied.  That is the issue I want to address in this blog with the following reasoning:

(1) Every human being alive today will be dead in 200 years.

(2) Most injured or dying individuals will use medicine to ward off death before they inevitably die.

(3) If only State controlled, Government Health Care is available, then that is what will be used if medicine is applied.

(4) The longer a Government Health Care patient lives, the more expensive the individual is to the State.

(5) Every State has limited capital to spend.

(6) If a system of Government Health Care is maintained--without being scrapped for free-market, Capitalist Medicine--then the State will decide when and how each patient will die.

This proves that Government Health Care = Death Panels.  Its cause and effect.

How Ted Cruz should save America

     Of all the politicians running for President, Senator Ted Cruz is my favorite.  However, I do not support his campaign--the reason being that he could accomplish so much more by publicly dropping out in a way that refutes Obama.

What is better: to steer America back somewhat towards the direction of progress from the disastrous state the country is in today, or, to wipe out everything Obama thinks he did during his supposed "Presidency"?

It is my interpretation that a law must be understood in order for it to be followed.  And, if a law does not mean what it says, then there is a real immoral problem there.  But, in fact, when it comes to the highest law of the land, The Constitution of the United States of America, it means what it says because of the law of identity.  A is A

In Article II, Section 1, of the Constitution, it is written:

"No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States."

Since Ted Cruz was born in Canada, this part of the Constitution contradicts his entire presidential run.  He basically has two options: continue to evade the arguments that The Constitution means what it says, or, choose to drop out on the grounds that a non-natural born citizen cannot become President.

Look at what choosing the latter would do.  If Ted Cruz (who desperately wants to lead this country) can't be President, then Barack Obama (who was born in Kenya) can't be, either--and in fact never was.

I know Ted Cruz may be upset by my arguments in this blog.  But, is more political power so luring, as to propel one to dispense with one's conscience concerning the greatness of America's Constitution?  Is it so belittling to realize one's highest career achievement as the attainment of a seat in the United States Senate?  Ted Cruz is a great man.  Now, what can he do to make America its greatest?

The Constitution overrules the Supreme Court

     America falls under the category of the greatest type of government possible--a Constitutionally Limited Republic.  While the Supreme Court does judge the laws of Congress with The Constitution as its standard, it cannot violate the law of identity and reason in its rulings.  Yesterday, it attempted to do just that.

Instead of focusing this blog on the travesty of Chief Justice Roberts' contradictions, I want to explore a different angle.  Since The Constitution of the United States of America is the highest law of the land--not the whims of the top judges--it is The Constitution that Americans should look to to understand current law.  In Article II, Section 1, it says:

"No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States."

Applying logic and reason, this clause of our Constitutionally Limited Republic means that:

(1) Barack Obama never was President.

(2) Sotomayor and Kagen never were appointed to the Supreme Court by the President.

(3) The 6-3 Obamacare decision (that tried to desecrate The Constitution, by the way) was actually 4-3-2 (meaning that two judgeship seats that are currently hanging in abstention could swing the Obamacare ruling to a 4-5 loss).

Hopefully, President Biden will have more respect for virtue in law than the impostor that so many people were hoodwinked into accepting.

Better Drugs and Minor Side Effects

     It is almost impossible to bring to market a drug that cures a major ailment without side effects.

If a patient accepts a prescription from a private doctor for a medicine with great positive effects, but at the same time, the drug has a few, negative side effects, the pharmaceutical company should not be sued.

Considering that the most irresponsible, pill-pushing, medical establishments are government institutions, a better solution than fining Big Pharma would be to completely dismantle Government Health Care.  Too few understand the dynamics of how nearly all of the market ills would disappear under a system of Capitalist Medicine.  Of course, there would still be some minor cases for the court system to clean up; but, that does not involve blindly sticking it to Big Pharma for millions out of envy.

The Perfect Stock: Eli Lilly & Co. (LLY)

     In 2015, Eli Lilly & Co. (LLY), the Indianapolis based, Big Pharma corporation, has gone up 22%.  As of one year ago, it has increased by 43%.  And, since I bought my stock in the company, less than two years ago, it has added 67% to its value.

The thesis of this blog is my belief that, at this time, Eli Lilly & Co. (LLY) is hosting a triangulation of upside factors that are feeding into a nexus of what I call: "The Perfect Stock".

First, the business is beginning to unveil eminent drugs that it may choose to put onto the market soon in the areas of: rheumatoid arthritis, Alzheimer's, and psoriasis.

Second, the products of hundreds of millions of dollars of research are going towards fueling the best minds with the private mandate to promote Eli Lilly (LLY), discover new science, and do further R&D.

Finally, there are able forces allied with the company that know that if the FDA misbehaves, it will have to be destroyed for a while.  This may not be a common, conventional, Wall Street factor.  But, it is not every company that has an Objectivist intellectual on its wing.

Present, Future, and Past.

Everything happens in the present

As I have defined, earlier:

Time Change is the synchronized Universal events progression

Time Change Progresses Eternally (See 5/13/15 blog in American Galileo)

It is not hard to conceptualize an infinite future.  However, one may experience more difficulty trying to envision an infinite past.  To assist you, consider the following:

Matter has always been gravitating, but the past is history.

Is Space's shape an elliptical solid?

     Whereas:

Matter is something

Mass is matter quantity

Place is where something is

Space is where something could be

The Universe is all matter and space

Gravity is the constant, universal attractive force between all matter that is a metaphysical axiom

Gravity Limits The Universe

Time Change is the synchronized Universal events progression

Time Change Progresses Eternally

Universal Mass is Constant

     Consider the following hypotheses:

(Hypothesis #1): All Force is Gravity (See January 2015 blog)

(Hypothesis #2): If acceleratory forces define Universal Space (where something could be), I hypothesize that Universal matter attracting and being attracted to all other matter results in attempts to orbit around each other matter unit in elliptical patterns.  Considering that this goes on with an eternal future, I propose that Space (where something could be) is a three-dimensional, elliptical solid shape.

Time Change is the synchronized Universal events progression

Time Change Progresses Eternally

Matter can neither be created, nor destroyed

     Therefore:

Universal Mass is Constant

Now the contest begins to identify the one light units total number in The Universe.  This natural number is constant.  It cannot be subtracted from.  And, it cannot be added to.

Will Express Scripts Destroy the Cure for Cancer?

     In today's business environment, socialist and fascist elements are sometimes mixed in with legitimate, private companies.  One such government entity that is traded on the NASDAQ is Express Scripts (ESRX).

Express Scripts can be described as a government manager.  It uses the outcome of socialist bargaining to extort money in the area of medicine.  Its primary source of growth is found in its ability to inflict a reign of terror against bio-tech and Big Pharma companies.  Since Express Scripts produces nothing, its only tool to this end is the bureaucratic connections and strangleholds it can tap into to punish the legitimate, private businesses in the medical market.

The mainstream media is setting up Express Scripts' (ESRX) next big move--cancer drugs.  Just as it did with the consideration of multiple hepatitis C medicines--where government regulators did not exclude several treatments long enough for their buddies at Express Scripts to talk down their prices, its success with that strategy has wet its appetite for more.

Some may argue that Express Scripts is engaging in legitimate price negotiation.  But, considering what goes on behind the scenes--where government regulators make it clear that if Big Pharma does not cooperate in price reduction, it will not be able to sell its products at all, there is nothing legitimate about Express Scripts' behavior.

Finally, to make a practical point concerning the danger of cancer, the immutable laws of economics are at work here.  If Big Pharma finds that it is making insignificant profits in the fight against cancer, even if one does not have to worry about that disease right now, what about 10 years from now?  By not opposing what Express Scripts (ESRX) and their government buddies are doing, in essence one is killing oneself in the future.

The FDA Moves Against Eli Lilly

     The FDA produces nothing.  It wipes out medicine.  The FDA does not tell a sick individual that one can buy a medicine.  It just destroys the chances for the ill to have the freedom to purchase possible cures.

At the time of the formulation of medical regulation, in history, there may have been an argument that patients were too uninformed to act upon good information.  But, with the Internet and the vast possibilities of medical consulting businesses, that argument definitely has no validity today.

Whartonian Philosophy Concerning Time Change

Time Change is the synchronized Universal events progression

Time Change cannot be negative--as that would mean contradicting paradoxes which don't exist in reality.

Time Change cannot be zero because a change in time to a new present, implies that it progressed from the past--producing a net, positive Time Change.

Matter cannot be destroyed.  So long as Matter exists, it acts--progressing through time.  Since Matter will keep acting forever, the following generalization about Time Change is true:

Time Change Progresses Eternally

Eli Lilly (LLY) Sponsors Theoretical Science

     Anyone who goes to the Eli Lilly & Co. (LLY) business website can read about the great efforts the company is taking to attract and foster talent in the areas of: science, research, and development.  Indeed, Indianapolis is fast becoming one of the major life-science area hub sites in all of America.

The purpose of this blog is to announce that I am back on board with Eli Lilly's scientific mission.  A couple of avenues have opened up to me to obtain their mind-enhancing medicine Zyprexa.  So, I've started back onto my final reserve supply with high hopes that I won't run out.

What I intend to do with Lilly's gift is to go full steam ahead in my science and philosophy studies.  To familiarize yourself with what I am capable of, I refer you to my blogs in January 2015 of American Galileo.  However, please note that all those equations and fundamental concepts were a product of about 20 years of reading and independent thought.  In order to maximize my scientific output, I want to put politics on the back-burner.  That's not to say I won't comment from time to time if I hear about something.  Its just that I have learned from experience that its really hard to study science if I follow a lot of political current events.

One final note:  Trying to work out the metaphysical formulas of The Universe can be difficult--though at times breakthroughs do come quickly in succession.  This blog is not going to be a consistent, weekly commentary.  If I don't produce much, quickly, perhaps just check back once a month to see if there is something new.

The New Face of Business Activism

     On March 9th, I accurately predicted an AbbVie Inc. (ABBV) market low in my blog, "AbbVie (ABBV): Its Now Time to Get In".  This was about the lowest the stock got since October of last year.  The stock went from $55.64 to close at $66.07, yesterday, just 46 days later--generating an 18.7% gain.

While I realize that there are many people and events that have influenced AbbVie's climb, I maintain that I was one of the individual players involved.  I wrote three, very high quality blogs in March that I believe helped persuade investors.  They can be found at my blog: American Galileo.  The following is a summary:

(1) "Pay your own way for a better life."  In this personal, historical narrative, I explored a life that chose to stand by one's own economic productivity despite financial pressure.  I showed the pride involved and ultimate triumph.

(2) "Socialist Takeover of Pharmaceutical Companies' Prices?"  This blog defended property rights--specifically, the freedom of trade.  I exposed the behavior of Express Scripts and appealed to the moral solution--that being to "...give up the economically devastating dream of free lunches without capitalist payment".

(3) "A Promise Kept?  A Lie Made."  In this blog, I took on medical "entitlements" in a way that differed from the traditional, Objectivist approach.  I argued that there shouldn't even be a "sliding scale" reduction, and that all of the socialist programs are already, completely gone.

While there have been some people doing this, I envision a new career field that integrates my kind of blogging with a deeply, philosophical level of business activism.  As an intellectual, I seek to team-up with the businessman in an alliance where my thought generates his profit, and his products improve my mind.  Of course, it also helps that I make money directly from my market activities, as I am doing.

Why Doesn't Obama Just Declare War on America?

     Judging from the nature of Barack Hussein Obama's character and the actions he thinks he has been performing lately, if he was President, I am conjecturing in this blog about the types of military actions he would have taken in recent wars if it was possible for him to be the Commander-in-Chief of U.S. forces.  Since, to Obama, the good is what is bad for America, the allies of America must be brought down as well.  Knowing what you know about this well publicized fraud, tell me if the following would have been his likely foreign policy:

(1) The revealing of all of the American intelligence concerning the forward positions of air bases near Kuwait just before The Gulf War because its not fair if America has superior intelligence advantages.  That would violate Obama's philosophy of multiculturalism in war.

(2) The ordering that all the military hardware that had been shipped to Vietnam be left behind for the North Vietnamese to have and use after the U.S. pullout.

(3) The recalling of Gen. Douglas MacArthur the day before his landing at Inchon, Korea.

(4) The drawing up of more efficient architectural plans to give to Hitler as an aid for him to carry out his final solution.

(5) The sending to Emperor Hirohito the atomic science technology necessary to build atomic bombs, and the calling off of the American advance through the Pacific to give Japan time to level the playing field.

Judging from recent events in Iran, Israel, Russia, Ukraine, China, Yemen, Cuba, and Venezuela, I'm emphatically asking: "Why doesn't Obama just declare war on America?"

Of course, Obama is not actually Commander-in-Chief--since he's not a natural born citizen, and all.  But, somehow I am guessing that even when he realizes that he is individually alone with his warped philosophy, he will still be raging against our once great country--AMERICA!

U.S. Soldiers Don't Have to Listen to Obama

     Considering that Barack Hussein Obama is not a natural born citizen, it is impossible for him to be Commander-in-Chief.  Its not that the issue is now being ignored, or that a questionable birth certificate was finally released years later.  The point of Constitutional Honor that liberates U.S. soldiers from him is that he's not a natural born citizen; therefore, Obama does not command soldiers in the United States military.

A Promise Kept?  A Lie Made.

     Despite being a mainstream Objectivist who agrees with almost all of the views of the Ayn Rand Institute, I have found another, rare issue on which I diverge.

It is commonly held that the Objectivist strategy to get rid of all of socialized medicine (i.e., Medicaid and Medicare) is to phase them out on a sliding scale relatively slowly.  But, the fact that there is so much political resistance to this makes it unlikely that any slow, and non-objectively chosen, sliding scale, age cut-off reduction will ever actually happen.

In my view, I think that America must adopt the attitude that all socialism should end NOW, or this country will end up going the way of Rome.  The rationale of the mainstream Objectivists is that too many people (especially older ones) are counting on the promise government made which translates into taking from others.  Every time I hear a politician chant the slogan: "A promise kept.", I want to add to that: "A lie made."

My proposal is for America's intellectual leaders to declare that: Obamacare, Medicaid, and Medicare have already reached the cut-off of the sliding scale.  Any continued withdrawal from one's paychecks is just residual, immoral crime that socialists are performing to try to keep the lie alive.

Since Americans now recognize that: Obamacare, Medicaid, and Medicare are over, the young, and especially older individuals, should scramble to make, and save, as much money as they can.

What We Can Learn from the Cruz's ObamaCare

     One of the big news stories of the day is the government coercion that led Ted Cruz to sign his family up for ObamaCare.  While I don't deny that I am disappointed by his decision, I understand the pressure he was under.

Picture it this way.  Imagine that government just passed a law that will completely phase out private education within five years.  When your 2015 income tax becomes due, you can either pay the enormous costs of enlisting your children into the public school system, or pay a fine.  The next year the fine will increase, until, five years from now, there will be no legal private education in existence in the United States.  If your wife tries to home-school your kids, she will go to jail.

So, what do you do?  Perhaps running for President with the goal of repealing the public education system--even though, in the meantime, one will have to navigate around the legal mandates for a couple of years is the route to take.

Socialist Takeover of Pharmaceutical Companies' Prices?

     Today's concerted media attack against pharmaceutical price freedom is a grave injustice.  A business has the right to decide what price to charge potential customers independent of government force and coercion.  But, it is not just pharmacy prices that are at stake in the discussion.  Economics involves other equally analogically negotiated prices, too.  The following scenario illustrates my point:

Suppose there is a socialist, mostly government entity named "Fast Slips" that is disguised on Wall Street as just another company.  This "company" goes into businesses and identifies prices for goods that it declares are too expensive.  When Fast Slips rushes into action, it finds the owner and argues for bringing down certain prices at the expense of the owner's income and reduced wages or pink slips of every employee in the business.  If Fast Slips meets resistance, it pulls out its Trump Card--that being its government connections and true socialist nature.  Due to the threat of this overwhelming coercive force, most owners fold to the pressure--cutting jobs and reducing wages to meet the new government conditions.

Now how would you feel if you were a worker in that business?  What economic reward would you get if you were the owner?  Instead of Express Scripts and CVS screwing over the entire pharmaceutical industry, why don't they: dissolve their socialist elements, stop forcing drugs with nasty side-effects upon people, and give up the economically devastating dream of free lunches without capitalist payment?

Pay your own way for a better life.

     In December of 1997, I was released from a hospital to live in Westmont, Illinois.  I had about $15,000 in the bank; but, even so, I faced a dilemma.  I could go to the government health center that the hospital had insisted on "linking" me to.  Or, I could pay my own money to see a private psychiatrist.  The public, government system would hand out "free" medicine, but force me to attend gatherings of incompetents called "groups".  The top of the line drug that I had sampled in the hospital (Zyprexa) would be excluded because it cost more than $600 per month.  And, Depakote might be restricted as well.

I knew that if I paid for: a private doctor, Zyprexa, and the lower cost Depakote, I would have almost no spending money--even with maintaining a full-time job.  I chose the path less traveled, and have not regretted it since.

Over the years, as I begged for extra hours at work, I would go through the ritual of driving over to the pharmacy to pay my $600+, then $900+, then over $1000 per month for psychiatric medicine.

In 2005, I began blogging in Usenet News.  I opened up about the Zyprexa medication in 2007.  I thought I could use the mind that Eli Lilly & Co. (LLY) had enhanced to think of ideas that would help the company.  As an Objectivist Capitalist, I allied with Big Business; but, I never thought that my online efforts would produce a significant economic return for me.

I started showing the private psychiatrist my blogs.  Every two months, I would hand her a folder with everything I had posted.  One day, she brought up the topic of Zyprexa samples that the Eli Lilly drug rep brings when he visits her office.  At first I refused because I took pride in supporting myself; and, besides, I was skeptical that it would work out becoming a free-rider.  A couple sessions later, I approached the doctor with an offer.  I said that I would focus my blogging on helping Eli Lilly in one way or another (much of my writing is political) in exchange for accepting samples of Zyprexa.

Thus, despite the fact that government forced me to consume psychiatric medication that whole time, I was self-responsible in earning money in a private job, paying my own way for medicines, and finding a second job as an Internet blogger.  I am proud of my history and the fact that I stand by my own effort.  After the years of physical and mental abuse by the government, I never thought that life could be this great!

AbbVie (ABBV): Its Now Time to Get In

     I haven't written about my biopharmaceutical investment, AbbVie Inc. (ABBV), for a while; but I have been following it very closely.  On Friday, it closed at $55.64.  Having bought at $62.62, I only wish I could have gotten in at a lower price.  Great things are going to be done with this company.  My argument is that now is the time to get in.  I list four reasons:

(1) The Dow is off its high.

(2) Many investors sold over the last two trading days because they perceived AbbVie's $21 billion price for Pharmacyclics as too high.  Their money is gone from AbbVie--leaving the company a cheap buy.

(3) The Pharmacyclics acquisition is just the beginning of AbbVie's turnaround of its morale problem that started from the pragmatism of the deal with Express Scripts.

(4) And, then there's the Paul Wharton factor.  The Abbott-AbbVie invention of Depakote saved the quality of my life and literally freed me from a prison-like environment enforced by state governments.  With the gratitude motive (on top of the profit one), investors can expect to see AbbVie (ABBV) getting some boosts from my reading, thinking, and blogging.  I encourage anyone who doubts this to visit my blog: lillyfuel.blogspot.com.  I did all of that in just over a year.

Abolish the FCC

     The FCC is not a legitimate form of government.  In a moral state, regulations in the economy do not exist.  The recent declaration by this abomination to try to destroy the Internet shows the imminent necessity to repeal the FCC.

For all liberty loving Internet users, I propose the following game plan:

(1) Put together a 300 page plus legislative bill that completely abolishes the FCC.
(2) Don't let anyone read it until it is passed by Congress.
(3) Repeat this process against each illegitimate government department that seeks to expand as the FCC has done.

In summary, wipe out any illegitimate government that moves!

I Veto Obama

     Self-proclaimed President of the United States, Barack Obama, spoke at a media event in which he declared:

"So in the short term, if Mr. McConnell, the leader of the Senate, and the Speaker of the House, John Boehner, want to have a vote on whether what I'm doing is legal or not, they can have that vote.  I will veto that vote, because I'm absolutely confident that what we're doing is the right thing to do."

I could point out (as I have been repeatedly doing so in my blogs) that a natural-born Kenyan cannot be President.  However, Obama's above declaration takes American law to an entirely new level.  What Obama is saying is that The United States no longer exists in a state of the rule of law--but instead, under the rule of whim.

So, if that's the case, let the whims begin.  The first whim I wish to assert is to veto Obama.  I veto every political position he has had and now thinks he has.  And, I veto every vote he cast in his early political career.

Of course, it's not just Obama's whims and mine that are at play.  Each human being on this Earth has thousands of whims that clash into the expression of physical actions.

What a wonderful society Obama's whims have brought us to!

Why Its Really President Biden

     Before a candidate for President of the United States places his name on this country's ballots, one must choose a running mate for the position of Vice President.

As the American system has set up, the Vice President is next in line to the Presidency if something physical or political happens to the supposed President (such as a Constitutional disqualification).  In the case of the most recent election, the ticket with the two Democrat Party names won--one name belonging to a natural-born citizen, the other not.

Since Barack Obama was born in Kenya, the Presidency office passes to Joe Biden--who is a natural-born American.

Its really not a complicated argument.  This is the way the Constitution is set up.  But, if one does want to explore why, it is quite simple.  The Framers of the Constitution created the natural-born citizen clause to try to instill one more safeguard to increase the chances of a pro-American President.  It isn't sure-fire that a politician who was born here will value, or even like, America, but imagine what could happen if the leader didn't.

In this time of war against Islam, imagine if America was commanded by a muslim who hated the patriotic values of American freedom and sought to undermine the country from within.

I didn't vote for the Obama-Biden ticket.  But, a majority did.  You Americans saw option number two on your party's platform.  Until there is another election for an American President, you must accept President Biden as America's executive leader.

Obama is Not America

     For more than six years, Americans have been protesting the actions of Barack (The Kenyan) Obama.  We have been critical in protesting a man who's every act is calculated to destroy the country over which he supposedly presides.  However, it will be a more fastidious result of understanding if each of us quickly comes to the realization that Obama is not America.

One can imagine the foreign image America has begun to display.  When non-domestic individuals comment upon what this country has supposedly succumbed to, it should be clarified that Obama is not America.

Here at home, whenever the topic of American leadership arises, it must properly be stated that Barack (The Kenyan) Obama is not America.  Hundreds of independently impeachable offenses aside, one of the most fundamental ones--the impossibility of a non-natural born citizen becoming President of the United States of America, according to the Constitution, individually stands alone as sufficient to clarify his illegitimacy.

Since Obama holds no political position, I don't understand how so many Americans have come to accept a supposed Obama Presidency, and cynically resign the hope that that title is metaphysically in error.  Obama is not President; he never was President; and he never will be President.  Obama is not America.

AbbVie: A New Company with a Long History

     I finished reading A Promise for Life: The Story of Abbott.  At about 400 pages, it is the ultimate research tool for learning about AbbVie's start and where the company came from.

AbbVie (ABBV) has only existed since January 2013--when Abbott Labs (ABT) shed about half of its business to create a new, independent, research-based pharmaceutical company.

Abbott got its name from the physician who began, north of Chicago, by making medicines in 1888.  As a master at sales, he created a popular advertising journal to sell his products to doctors.  When the Great Depression hit, Abbott Labs weathered it exceptionally well--as it also was to do under the leadership of CEO Miles D. White in 2008.

The book tells the story of many of the pharmaceutical products still sold by AbbVie today.  "Depakote, for instance, was a patented successor to Depakene, the drug for treating epilepsy...By 1998, Depakote would surpass lithium, long the leading treatment for bipolar disorder..."(p.276)

Another valuable asset is Humira: "Since it was launched as a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis in 2003, Humira has steadily added indications and is currently the leading pharmaceutical in the world."(p.364)

Compared to the three books I have read about Eli Lilly, this book about AbbVie's history is by far better.  It is extremely high quality; and I suspect that it is even subsidized by Abbott, due to the low cost.  Whether one wants to read it cover to cover, or just have it as a reference guide, A Promise for Life: The Story of Abbott is definitely worth owning.

Postscripts in American Galileo

     One of the goals of my blog is to promote the pharmaceutical companies that have had the biggest, positive impact upon my life.  These businesses are Eli Lilly & Co. (LLY) and AbbVie Inc. (ABBV).  For years, I have been blogging in support of Eli Lilly; and they have in return paid me Zyprexa at no additional charge.  In my opinion, it has been a unique and very esthetic business relationship--as their money fuels my mind; and my mind fuels their money.  On the other hand, AbbVie is a newcomer.  I have not yet established the same kind of trading relationship with them.  However, since I hold stock in both companies, I will still benefit from seeing (and, hopefully affecting) an AbbVie rise--whether it is their mind-improving Depakote propelling it, or not.  So, this is the system I will use:

Whenever most of my posts are written while my mind is on one or both of the drugs produced by the above mentioned pharmaceutical companies, I will credit the business or businesses accordingly in a postscript.  However, as an exception, to reduce clutter I will be omitting the Lilly and AbbVie postscripts from my science posts, and simply be using the line "Father of Metachemics" below my name.  This is also intended to make them easier to find in the search engines.

What is Metachemics?

     Metachemics is a new field that integrates science and philosophy.  This study's goal is to discover and express the truth about The Universe's fundamental nature.  It is not enough to limit Metachemics to divided fields such as: Astronomy, Physics, Chemistry, Geology, or Biology.  I seek absolute, fundamental principles that are true across them all.

Metachemics is guided by Ayn Rand's philosophy--known as Objectivism.  With so many false and corrupted philosophies out there, Objectivism is the only one I trust.  I have studied this philosophy extensively--having read 156 books recommended by the mainstream Objectivist catalogs {by 3/13/23}.

Metachemics is an inductive science.  I believe that universal truth can be discovered by integrating rational thought premises with further, logical, rational thought.  When done correctly, my philosophy has an advantage that typical science often lacks.  To give an example, consider the question, "If a tree falls on an Earth-like planet, orbiting near The Universe's opposite side, does it make a sound?"  Some observation-shackled "scientists" may claim that it does not because it is impossible to measure the sound there with observations.  I argue that: that Universal part still exists, Earth-like planets there are bound by the same scientific laws as here, and that the tree that fell did cause sound.

All Force is Gravity

     I was trying to discover what fundamental forces exist in The Universe, years ago; so I called up my brother who holds a Ph.D. in laser physics.  He claimed that there are four fundamental forces:

(1) Gravity
(2) Electromagnetic Force
(3) Strong Nuclear Force
(4) Weak Nuclear Force

In order for something to have force upon other something or somethings, it must have mass.  As I have explained earlier, all matter is light.  Therefore, it is only light that has force properties.  Newton's Gravitational Theory stands as proven in science; so I don't question that.  The other three "fundamental forces", however, I do.

Having had to wade through some really messed up "science" in formulating my Metachemics, I thought that there could easily be errors in my brother's fundamental force tally.  The following is my reasoning:

If Electromagnetic Force exists, what is its range?  Does a one light unit exert Electromagnetic Force against every other one light unit even if it is on a Universal edge, as Gravity does?

Concerning a close range analysis, imagine two independent, one light particles.  They gravitate together to form a solid that modern physics claims produces a new fundamental force.  Then, another multi-light solid strikes the two light solid--breaking the two light particles apart.  Does the newly gained fundamental force disappear?  Is it negated in reality?  If the two light particles come together again, do they get the "fundamental" force back?

My guess in regard to the final two "fundamental forces" (Strong Nuclear and Weak Nuclear) is that they have been invented by modern physicists so that their flawed "science" supporters have a way to try to explain their data.  The misguided "scientist" can say: "There's a lot of force there (Strong Nuclear).  But, when the micro-forces (Weak Nuclear) are accounted for, the data comes out right."

My conclusion is the hypothesis:

All Force is Gravity

Everything's Mechanical

     The Universe is all Matter and Space.  While Mass is a natural number, there is a limit that exists.  The light units' number in The Universe is the highest natural number in existence.

Space (defined as where light could be) also is limited.  Since Gravity (the constant, universal attractive force between all matter that is a metaphysical axiom) pulls all matter towards all other matter, it acts as a retainment force.  This concept can be summarized as:

Gravity Limits The Universe

There's no loophole for evil

     As I explained in a previously published post, "All Force is Gravity", every force in The Universe is caused by, and propelled by, Gravity.  This could lead to some dangerous conclusions.

First, it may be supposed that a human does not have free will.  While it may be technically true that one does not, evolution has designed Man with self-propelling capabilities and a specific nature.  Another fact is that each individual is so complex that it is absolutely impossible for any other individual to be able to completely predict and/or control another.

Second, it would be a grave mistake to adopt a philosophy that dismisses every crime or flaw with the explanation: "Gravity did it."  To illustrate this, imagine a pet Grizzly Bear that discovers that it can gain food by eating human beings.  As it gets more and more experience at hunting and killing Man, there reaches a situation in which it becomes necessary to put it down--whether Gravity is propelling it, or not.

Another Metachemical point I have not yet made is the fact that everything with Mass is physical.  What I have seen too much in my past is messed up minds committing outrageous injustice with the warped belief that certain things are not physical when they are.

For example, suppose that a mental hospital nurse is told by superiors to poke just a tiny needle into someone that will push a chemical substance into him for only one second.  Did this person initiate physical force?  Is chemistry a science that studies matter?  Is a chemical physical?  Will the substance be any significance at all, as the victim's bloodstream transports it to his brain?

The point I am trying to make is that despite Metachemics's novelty, and the new way to conceive The Universe, one may want to integrate one's actions with common sense because as this post's name says: "There's no loophole for evil."
